Vista Update Error 80244019

A customer brought in a computer with Windows Vista that would not update properly. Every time he ran Windows Update he would receive an error 80244019. This error means that the system could not access the update server properly. Normally this would mean a system wide problem where nothing would access the Internet. In this case however, he could surf the Internet just fine but could not complete Windows update.

The culprit was the DNSChanger trojan. Visit my page on PCHell.com to learn more about this trojan and how to remove it.
